Breast Ultrasound to detect cancer
Ultrasound is used at the earliest stage to identify what and where the nodule is in your breast and used to take samples of the lump to identify possible cancer quickly.
If you are concerned about any symptoms or new lumps that have appeared on your breasts, check out our Breast Clinic.

Testicular Ultrasound to detect cancer
Ultrasound is the gold standard in imaging and identifying what it can be so any potential cancer can be picked up early.
If you do have a concern, it's best to get checked out as soon as possible. Specialist consultants do our Testicular Ultrasound scan with same-day results, so you spend less time worrying, and you'll get timely advice on further management and the next steps.

Muscle and joint pain
No longer able to do the things you were able to, or is there a limit to what you can do.
Ultrasound can have a look into the joints and identify whether there is a tear of the muscle or weakness of the tendons that are contributing to your symptoms.

Abdominal pain
Ultrasound is a quick and easy test to look for the cause of your abdominal pain and is often referred to by GPs as the first test to look for underlying problems like gallstones or suspicious lesions.
